"Boy has this place gone downhill. It used to be my ‘go to for a special Sunday lunch’ place! Went today with a friend and a 5 year old child and despite the 3 degree temperature they sat us outside in a ‘tent’ sort of structure with a 6” gap between the floor and the start of the thin material that was all there was between us and the elements. Despite a whole load of heaters, it was FREEZING. Grey, pinched faces huddled in their outdoor coats whilst they ate the rapidly cooling food. When it came to the food obviously it wasn’t just space that was an issue. They clearly hadn’t increased their food order but instead just shared the food between more people . If they were hoping for a loaves and fishes event, I’m afraid they will have been disappointed. You might have thought the plates had been prepared by the borrowers, the portion was so small! The spoonful of gravy, didn’t even manage to cover the one, charred roast potato but, when we asked for extra gravy we were charged £1.50 for a tiny pot! What restaurant charges for extra gravy??? We ordered a child’s sausage, mash and peas, but got, sausage mash carrots and broccoli. The child won’t eat vegetables except peas, so that was wasted. The ‘adult’ meals were supposed to come with a bowl of vegetables. Half way through eating we reminded the waitress that we still hadn’t got the vegetables. She said she was sorry, but didn’t bring any. My friend ordered a glass of red wine that, after a reminder, finally turned up as my friend finished her meal. We complained at the end that we hadn’t been given the bowl of vegetables and the child’s meal wasn’t as ordered. The waitress said she was sorry. Clearly greed has replaced quality. Cramming in more people to increase the takings at the expense of comfort and a decent meal. So disappointing."
